we stand in spring

[grifter]

we stand in spring

we stand in spring
dragons blooming
elder claws killingly spread
shrugged shoulders shattering

the rain

left not everywhere
while slightly sleeping autumn prays
and summer drools in winter’s pain

we lay

carrying crickets in the colored cloth
of tabled thoughts
we sing in spring
as junebugstiedwithstring

but flower eating snakes love roses
like dragons

"and summer drools in winter’s pain"

--one of the best lines I've read in a while. I also liked this:

"as junebugstiedwithstring"

--how you kept it as one word. I've used that but never to any advantage. I love how you use alliteration so well and so often. It's one of my favourite elements in poetry and you use it so effectively

"dragons blooming
elder claws killingly spread
shrugged shoulders shattering"

I like the whole dragon idea there.

"carrying crickets in the colored cloth
of tabled thoughts
we sing in spring
as junebugstiedwithstring"

And that... That's just... Wow. I really like this.
